The Mezcal Mandate (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798242661073)

One apartment. Five friends. Fourteen shots of mezcal. Zero grip on reality.

When fAIzi, Arun, STR, Otta, and Stanley gather for a night of legendary drinking, they expect a hangover. They don't expect to become the front line in a high-stakes, international conspiracy involving Morse-coding ceiling fans and ginger feline double agents.

It all starts when the "Giant Meatball of Sector 7" vanishes from a coffee table in broad daylight (or at least, under a very dim IKEA lamp). To a sober person, it's a snack that fell on the floor. To the Task Force, it's a heist that threatens the very fabric of the matrix.

Follow the team as they navigate the treacherous terrain of a hallway, conduct a tactical breach of a bathroom, and face off against "Agent Pepperoni"-a pizza delivery man who just wants his tip and to get as far away from these lunatics as possible.

The Mezcal Mandate is a riotous, drunk-logic thriller that proves you don't need a badge or a gun to solve a mystery-you just need a kitchen colander for "frequency protection" and a friend who thinks meatballs need a bath.

Praise for The Mezcal Mandate:

"A masterpiece of intoxicated deduction." - The Morning-After Review "I haven't been this confused since I actually was drunk." - Anonymous Pizza Guy "Meow." - The Detective (formerly known as the Ginger Cat)
